OUTER WEAR OPSHOP HAUL

I thought I would quickly show you guys a few pieces of outer
wear that I have picked up over the past few weeks. Its supposedly summer here
in New Zealand at the moment but you seriously wouldn’t know it! Yesterday I was
forced back in to tights and a jacket, today there was a violent storm/tornado
in Auckland that has left 3 people dead (R.I.P) which is so sad just before Christmas.
So although I would like to think I don’t need all these layers sadly I do!!

As far as opshopping goes most things are a few dollars, but
I actually picked these items up at a second hand store – therefore store
owners can charge three times as much apparently? But I decided to have a
little pre-Christmas splurge. I have honestly been looking for a denim jacket
for so long! I was in a store with my mum when I found this one. It was
originally $50.00 which I think is much too expensive but with a half-price
sale they were having I was happy to
pick it up for $22.00 – I know it’s not exactly half but it’s what they charged
me. I always thought I wanted a lighter wash denim jacket but I am actually really
pleased with this one. It’s never been worn and its billabong so I know it will
be good quality hence why I was happy to pay a bit extra.

Next I got two cardigans, the first is a kind of deep dusky
rose colour?? I’m not exactly sure what you call it but I really liked it. Its
100% wool and the scalloped edge detailing is really lovely. I will admit It
was extremely over priced at $25.00 but I really like it so I thought why not
and I know I will get a lot of wear from it, which I already have. The second
cardigan is from Salvation Army and it cost $15.00 I love the colour
combination of black and navy it’s quite a bold stripe pattern but the similar
colours make it very wearable. I also really like how the black sections are
almost mesh looking? It just makes it that little bit more individual and
interesting.
